(Springfield, IL) — Illinois lawmakers are once again trying to change the way the state draws its political map. State Rep. Ryan Spain is pushing the latest attempt to create a 16-member commission to handle statehouse and congressional boundaries. Spain yesterday said Illinois has tried to strip the power from lawmakers to pick their own voters in the past, but they’ve run into political opposition. Spain says there are still some kinks to work out with his plan, but he says anything is better than Illinois‘ current system.
